“Some of the best Mediterranean food in the area- which is saying a lot.

Chicken is always juicy; the rice is always flavorful; the salad has the perfect acidity level and balance of components; hummus is clearly house-made; the toum is rich and potent.

The food is great, and the entire place is usually run by one fella, so have some patience- it's not McDonalds, it won't be ready in 30 seconds.

Slow down and enjoy yourself- well worth the wait. Don't bother with food delivery, just drive down there like a normal human being.

My only gripe? The pita could be warmer. That's it- that's my only complaint.“

“I'm so happy to have landed work nearby and discovered this family-owned Mediterranean gem. You can genuinely taste the quality in every ingredient. Everything feels fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and made with love.

The food is simple, wholesome, and full of flavour. It's the kind of meal that leaves you feeling energized instead of weighed down. Even when they're busy, the team works with ease, warmth, and genuine passion for what they do.

Businesses like this are what make a community thrive. If you're looking for meaningful, high-quality food made by people who truly care, do yourself a favour and support this local family business. Highly recommended.“

“The word is out! I honestly can say that Lemon Mint is the hottest restaurant in the SGV for excellent Mediterranean cuisine and hookah. I’ve had friends from Glendale to Orange County hearing great things about Lemon Mint and I tell them the hype is real. The cuisine is fresh and authentic. The hookah is the cherry on top to a relaxed outdoor environment. Seating is limited so plan ahead to get a great seat. For you that love hookah, we always have the “Love 66”.
Ownership of this great establishment is always on sight making sure every customer is happy and taken care of. Thank you Sam for bringing such a great restaurant to Glendora.“

“Came here during the Glendora Village Holiday Stroll. It was so yummy! We tried the beef and chicken crepe sandwiches with garlic sauce and pesto. Everyone in our party loved what they ordered, even the decaf was amazing! 💓 great, friendly customer service also. Highly recommend!“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“I love how tasty their food is. I had the Lafta wrap and a Kafta plate. The way I devoured it all was insane. The flavors were great, the food was fresh, and the restaurant is kept very clean and tidy. The bread in unreal and tastes so good from their oven. I absolutely loved this place and I loo forward to coming back!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right by the entrance!“

“My wife & I found this hidden gem Mediterranean Restaurant a few years ago. We've tried many other Mediterranean restaurants but Damasquino to this day is still our favorite! Don't let the small location fool you because the food is larger than life! Amazingly mouth watering delicious!
Hussam, the master chef/cook never fails to deliver! We typically get the chicken kabob plate with rice, hummus, salad, grilled onion & tomato, pita bread & of course the strong garlic sauce! Last time we were there on 06/25/26, Hussam made us his juicy signature shawarma sandwich wrap which was a flavor bomb! It made our taste buds explode! The prices are very reasonable, the ambiance is cozy, & the cooks are friendly! We drive over 30 minutes every time we come here! It's worth the trip!
If you're looking for delicious authentic Mediterranean food, stop by & give them a try! You won't be disappointed.“

“Garden Salad and request to add the grilled salmon.“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Best Mediterranean food I’ve had in a very long time.“

“The food is amazing! You can’t be the quality of the ingredients.“

“Great food and great service!!“

“Love Kebab G Stop! I moved to the area from central LA and am so happy I found a Mediterranean spot that is up there with the best! Love the chicken kebabs, the rice is very tasty and the spicy hummus is creamy and smooth! Def my go-to spot!“

“I was referred this hidden gem by a friend to try their bakery, namely the “Laham be ajeen” aka (Safiha) but I was tempted to try their spinach pies, which turned out to be a great idea. Family enjoyed the pies more than the famous bakeries of Brookhurst of Anaheim. I have bought some Baraze’ too but unfortunately they seemed to have been slightly under-cooked so I had to give them a little bit of toasting. Maybe it’s a personal choice of mine to have sesame on baraze’ cookies a bit darker and more toasty.
Their cooking menu is good. I would order in advance.
In the small grocery section, I was surprised to find some middle eastern delicacies at a decent price such as the coveted brown truffles in brine. I filled up 😎

While they have a couple of tables, I didn’t feel it was suitable to sit. The view is the parking lot and other businesses.“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“I've been searching for really good stuffed grape leaves since a former co-worker brought some of her home made dolma at work about 8 years ago... I've had some hits (mostly misses), but none compared to the one she made... now this... the search is over. Happy palate!😊 It's my first time here. What can I say? As soon as I entered the place, I can smell good things baking and cooking. The owner showed me trays of fresh baked pastries/pies (spinach, meat & cheese) as he took them out straight from the oven. Everything looked delicious. The service was great. I ordered to go and the owner gave me a sample of the Cheese Burak (Cheese Pie) to eat on the go. I started driving off and as soon as I took my first bite I regretted immediately why I did not order that.Everything we ordered were so flavorful and delicious. They also have the best Hummus. So I will definitely go back to this place. 😊“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“We ordered the spicy hummus, garlic fries, beef shawarma, babakenush?, and cauliflower. My friend saw the baclava and had to try it. So we started with desser. The pistachio was very crispy and chewy and was my friends favorite. The walnut was sweet and chewy which was my favorite. Everything was absolutely delicious! The spicy hummus had a little kick at the beginning but as we ate we didn't taste the kick anymore. The cauliflower is lightly fried and so freaking delicious! I ate it by itself or with some hummus. My friend ate it with the babakanush and some cauliflower sauce and was in love. I tried her babakanush. I don't like eggplant but this was really delicious! Had a lovely garlic flavor that was slightly addicting. The garlic fries was just fries sprinkled with garlic powder but dipped it in the hummus and it was good. The pitas were really good too. I could've eaten more if I wasn't so full. But the beef shawarma was freaking AMAZING!!!!! We both said this was the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. I said no tomatoes to my beef shawarma which I'm glad I did. The flavor was absolutely amazing without it. Definitely 10/10 no complaints at all. And service was awesome too! So kind, friendly, and funny. I can't wait to come back again!“

“I ordered takeout and was happily surprised! I got the chicken shawarma wrap and it was delicious! It did take about 25 minutes for my order, so plan ahead and order online through their website. The ladies working were very kind and attentive. Will be back to try more of their dishes!“

“Went yesterday with my Daughters and can I say the food was so amazing. It was everything I hoped it to be. We came all the way from L. A and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be back! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“A good friend of mine invited me to this place. The steak and chicken skewer were so tender, juicy, and flavorful, we ended up ordering another round! We ordered the lemon dill rice, grilled mixed vegetables, and potatoes. All very delicious! We had Greek Wine which is good too! We will be back for sure!“

“K Grill Kabob has the best beef and chicken dishes. Their rice is so tasty that you don’t need any butter. I order from here regularly and thoroughly enjoy all I order each time. I have been a fan of Persian cuisine since I was a kid and K Grill Kabob is the best Persian restaurant in all of Southern California. You should try their great dishes. I know you will enjoy it!“

“This place did NOT disappoint. The food was delicious, the service was fast, and the overall experience was awesome. One of the best spots I’ve tried lately!”“

“Lovely healthy food, great hookah options, and wonderful service. I love the atmosphere it’s like a mini vacation.“

“I love this place....all their dishes are delicious....if you haven't tried it....please do....there's never a day that the lines are out the door....speaks volumes!!!! The owner is a wonderful man....George is his name. So next time you see him call him by his name and you'll see for yourself.... :-)“

“Awesome!! The Blackened Salmon Kabobs have me LIFE!“

“They prioritize Uber Eats over walk ins but over all the food is good but a bit pricey. But I’m only posting a review because I was having a really bad day and someone put this post it on the bag saying “have a great day” with cute stickers and it just really touched my heart. Thank you - I needed that“
